Early Submission for IB8

Published by Wyatt on November 1st, 2011 | Comments Off

We thought we’d open submissions for the week following IB7 for folks who are excited to speak at IB8. The plan is simple: get people on the hook to speak while they’re still jazzed from IB7 before they have enough sense to chicken out come spring! If you’re our kind of dope, submit your talk now!

Before you ask: yes, submissions will open again in March for folks who want to submit to speak then.

Tonight is Ignite Boise 7, and it’s bound to be a lot of fun!  People will share their ideas, folks will hoot and holler, and the beer will flow like wine.

But proceed with a hint of caution.  Ignite is not designed to be a strictly family-friendly event.  Lot’s of people bring their kids, and all ages are unequivocally welcome and encouraged to come.  We’ve even had an 11 year-old present before.

Parents considering bringing young children to Ignite Boise — please keep in mind that Ignite can be a PG-13-ish event. While we remind the presenters that children may be in the audience, at Ignite:

  • Speakers may use what some consider “foul” language;
  • Speakers may discuss “adult” topics (e.g., drinking, sex, other “adult” subject matters); and/or
  • Speakers may even include images in their presentations that some might find objectionable.

Because of that…parents should consider whether their children are mature enough to attend. The good news is that everything at an Ignite is fleeting.  If you don’t like what you hear, just wait 5 minutes and it’ll be done.

So, as always, attend Ignite at your own risk.  Ignite is YOUR event.  It is composed of and attended by members of our community (i.e., you).  We organizers have limited influence over what makes it up on stage; we really don’t know what’s coming much more than you do.

That being said, hang on and enjoy the ride!  We’ll see you tonight at the Egyptian.

No ticket? Come anyway!

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard, “I was going to go to Ignite, but I didn’t have a ticket.”  Here’s one last reminder for the ticketless:

YOU CAN COME TO IGNITE BOISE WITHOUT A TICKET!

You just have to wait until 6:30 to get in, that’s all.  Doors open to everyone, ticket or no, at 6:30.  The show starts at 7:00, so there’s plenty of time to grab a drink and some popcorn before finding a seat.  See you tonight!

Thank you IB7 sponsors.

Ignite Boise only happens because of a dedicated group of volunteers and a generous slate of sponsors. Their work is what keeps Ignite fun, engaging and free.

If you have the chance, please thank our sponsors. Support their businesses. Give them a nice (yet appropriate) big hug. Or at least, check out their website. Somehow, please just show them you appreciate their support. We couldn’t have Ignite Boise without them.

Our #IB7 sponsors:
